5:24 am

5:27 am
catch up. she points to places like the netherlands recently built a superhighway just for fast-moving bikes. >> the risk is that we have this huge opportunity to do something that is so positive, and it could really get messed up because nobody is taking a proactive and positive approach on how this is a great way to get people around, how do we make more infrastructure and make it safer and make the rules more clear? liz: and we posted that story on our website or you can get a link to that training program launching in marin county. still to come, in ukraine, more missile attacks on energy infrastructure. we will give you an update.
